Trustees

Raised in Ōtorohanga, Carolyn has worked in the family transport business, of which she is a shareholder, most of her working life.

Carolyn sees that WESCT plays an essential part in safeguarding the future of TLC as a key community-owned asset.  She believes that keeping local ownership of TLC is crucial, together with providing the support they require to operate efficiently in order to maximise the benefits that can be enjoyed by the community.

Of Ngāti Maniapoto and Ngā Rauru descent, Erin is passionate about people and is heavily invested in wanting to make a difference for her iwi and community.

Erin sees The Lines Company as an important intergenerational asset that plays a significant role in contributing towards the economic and social wellbeing of the wider Maniapoto region, both as a major employer and contributor to the economic landscape within Te Nehenehenui.

A qualified accountant with over 20 years corporate and government experience, Waitomo Caves-based Janette is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors, a small business owner and a current councillor on the Waitomo District Council.

She believes the Trust and its ownership of The Lines Company are significant community assets and feels honoured to contribute to its governance and strategy on behalf of all its beneficial owners.

Guy is a local businessman who has lived in the Waitomo district since 2004.

He is very community-focused, invested in the district’s future, and feels that the Trust plays a significant part in the progression and growth of the area, a journey he is looking forward to being a part of.  Guy believes the benefits and opportunities of TLC being locally-owned are significant to our district and looks forward to working with the Trust to keep our community asset working for all.
